Clinton eliminated the deficit.
Obama did not achieve universal health care.
Congress wouldn’t let him. The President doesn’t write the laws and can only ask Congress to do so.
Sadly, even if Sanders were elected, it wouldn’t have made universal healthcare a reality.
You need 218 progressives in the house and 50 progressives in the senate. So… not happening.
Yes and, they also needed to break a filibuster by the Republicans, which took 60 votes in the Senate, despite severe illness and Republican shenanigans. It was a huge lift to get what we got.
Progressives would need to down ballot vote for that to happen. Would also need to support and fund progressive candidates.
Progressives currently can’t even do the bare minimum (actually voting), in large enough numbers to matter.

I think just a few parts of his skull made it to the moon.
Rich people are richer than ever though, so at least the red party delivered.
I would point out that, objectively, Clinton did achieve a budget surplus, and Kennedy’s program eventually got us to the moon (though he, obviously, didn’t live to see it). Say what you will about the ACA. No matter what standard you take, that’s at least a 2/3rds success rate for the blue party by your measure.

That’s not even a worthwhile goal. The state can print money for whatever it wants. Clinton didn’t change any of that. The state still wastes endless resources on the MIC, imperialism, etc. while many people lack basic human needs: food, shelter, healthcare, livable environment, etc.
Zero is a meaningless goal that changed absolutely nothing, especially long term.
Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.
Clinton got to the White House by pushing for and signing the death warrant for a man who was executed with a mental age of 9 as a campaign stunt. Also a serial molester.
Obama became Pakistan’s No.1 Wedding crasher, had a personal kill list, reneged on his promise to close the US concentration camp in Cuba and bugged Merkel’s phone.
If these are the best examples someone can come up with, it rather illustrates how we got to this point. Those were the “good” ones.
And ofc… Where’s genocide joe?!?
And the Americans are dumb enough to fall for the red lies every time they run.
Maybe nobody actually gives a shit about “balanced budgets”, imperialism in outer space, or sabotaged healthcare.
This is not true. Trump’s goal as president is to stay out of prison.
That was his goal as a candidate. His goal now is to put everyone else in
prisonconcentration camps.
Missing a Bush before Clinton. HW before W.
Also:
BIDEN: Don’t be Trump.
He was forgettable
I’ll always remember him eating ice cream cones while supporting genocide.
Yeah, just skip over genocide joe. lmao.
Arguably, all were successful except Obama.
“Successful”
they all got more money for rich people. did any of them impose term limits, stop insider training, or impose any meaningful penalties for those that already have a lot of wealth? they got wealthier and so did all around.
